I took a cutting of this plant from one that was growing wild in california's central coast last winter and threw it in a shady spot, where the sun would not burn it, until i had time to plant it. turns out i forgot about it and when i came to notice it it had rooted by itself just by laying there on the moist woodchips. now it is growing really fast and getting ready to bloom.
